On mac/terminal, I'm attempting to set up a local server with laravel but keep getting error that the php version is not up to date. I have attempted to install the needed 5.6 version via this tutorial, but I'm assuming it needs to be updated in my bash, possibly all things that are using it like Composer. I am not certain how to update the bash correctly or really what to do from here. https://coolestguidesontheplanet.com/upgrade-php-on-osx/ is how I updated. Also, if you have any suggestions as to what I can be learning to prevent this question in the future that would be much appreciated/where to start. EDIT: error: This package requires php >=5.6.4 but your PHP version (5.5.36) does not satisfy that requirement. terminal command: composer update
Install php from homebrew
brew tap homebrew/dupes brew tap homebrew/versions brew tap homebrew/homebrew-php brew unlink php56 brew install php70see if it works for you. I had to alias to php7 in my ~/.bash_profile
